so their actions are bad because you don’t think they’ll be effective? honestly, pressuring global trade has historically been a pretty good way of achieving goals in capitalism

Thanks for giving up the game and admitting that you support this not because it blockades under 10% of Israel's trade, but because it disrupts non-Israeli trade.

again, sanctions on russia have definitely killed people

I'm sorry that the words 'attack' and 'war crime' mean nothing to you.

because it disrupts non-Israeli trade

so, just to set a baseline here, are we agreed that

  • what israel is doing is bad
  • stopping israel from doing what they're doing is good
  • stopping israeli trade might stop what they're doing
  • therefore stopping israel from trading is good

given that trade is definitionally between two separate parties, one of the countries in the equation has to not be israel

how can you stop israel from trading without impacting other countries?

tldr: the sanctions on russia also have an impact on global trade, so if this is your redline, you should be anti-sanctions

I'm sorry that the words 'attack' and 'war crime' mean nothing to you.

are you saying the blockade is different to sanctions because russia attacked ukraine and is committing war crimes?

i'm not sure if you've paid attention to things in israel recently

A desperate backtrack after giving up the game. Sorry that "Let's hurt trade between everyone we can, not just those trading with Israel" isn't what most people would regard as just.

Brush up on your English.
